Having a Helper volunteer is like having an extra friend in the family with the knowledge to help.

Hilary's story

Hilary a Marie Curie Helper VolunteerAfter a cancer experience in her family, Hilary became inspired to join the Marie Curie Helper volunteer service. She was attracted to the way volunteers are there to make people aware of the support services open to them, but also to be there when someone wants to talk as an understanding ear and helping hand.

“My aunt died of breast cancer and I have had cancer. It taught me that it’s not as unmanageable as it seems and you realise the support that’s available. Because I’ve been through it myself, I understand it better.

“How much support someone needs varies from person to person. It’s a very individual service, but I’ll be there for the person I’m supporting and their family when they need me. Having a Marie Curie Helper is like having an extra friend in the family with the knowledge to help.”
